Wen Renbai raised his eyebrows in some surprise, looking at Helan Lian, "Do you know him?"
Helan Lian's gaze was complicated, "I've heard of him."
In history, this Emperor Mingchong was also an infamous tyrant, not at all inferior to Si Chu, but his contributions in terms of political achievements were beyond reproach.
This Emperor Mingchong later somehow turned over a new leaf, his temper much reined in, and he could barely be considered a "wise ruler."
What left the deepest impression was his favor towards the empress.
It was said that for the empress, he disbanded the harem, even gave up his throne as Emperor, disregarding rituals and selecting a pleasing non-relative to succeed him, then traveled the world with the empress.
For an emperor to be capricious to this extent, truly, there was none like him before and probably none to come!
The lucky one chosen was none other than Si Chu's father.
